Boxing Day

I'm not sure there were many boxes but there were a few more presents :-)

The piñata. Oh don't worry, I know exactly what to do!!

Collecting the spoils...

So how many sleeps until Christmas?

Christmas Day

A leopard!!!! Come here, I'll look after you.

Nonnie and Papi's garden on Christmas Day.

More presents

I love Christmas

My new bedspread...
and a little of my own artwork on the wall...there's MUCH more than you can see!!

We have to wear crowns for dinner... must be something special

Christmas Eve presents

It's nearly bigger than me!

Awww, a baby.

Yay...

Let's get to work right away!

Important cookies

Hannah and Aunty Lorna came over this week to help us make Christmas cookies

Oscar got excited at the decorating stage...

but was more excited at the eating stage!

All ready for Christmas Eve!

White stuff

So excited!!!

What is this stuff??

Hey Daddy!

Right. Revenge.

I called him Sye

It's cooooooold

Snow angels

Mmmmm. Hot chocolate.

Can we do that again?

Pie

Pie is my newest word.
I love these mince ones that mummy made then got angry when they said I'd finished them all. I only had two, there have to be more!!

Cuddles

Each time I steal another teddy from Nanny or Nonie it gets added to the collection I carry around with me. It's getting to the point where I might need to ask Santa for a trailer...

Show time

Where's my sister?

There she is. Very confident with the mic...

See for yourself!

Oscarese

Whether it's the influence of Spanish or just his own uniqueness there is a knack in figuring out what on earth Oscar is talking about. So here is some help...

A day out

Waiting for the train to make an important visit. VERY excited!!!

All aboard.

Terrified the whole time we were in the queue...and then when the moment arrived Tabitha came alive, had a blether with Santa and had to go back twice to say thank you!!
Oscar was actually quite excited in the queue...

Wiped...but very satisfied.

Time off

I came home from school on Wednesday with spots. Turned out to be chicken pox but I had it easy as I was vaccinated in Mexico. I did have to stay home because I had a few tiny spots. So basically back to how it was with Mummy figuring out how to keep me occupied...

Painting stones we collected at the beach...

Making Mr Men buns for our cousins...but they didn't get any because we ate them all!!
(can you even see my spots??)

Mary and Joseph

Bath hair...the day before Daddy got the clippers out

Is it my party?

I was very excited with our family project this week - we made a piñata for my school. I thought it was my party.

If it's for school it better be pretty.

I think this is great. Well done team Agnew. Turns out Mummy and I were giving a talk about Mexico to all my friends at school.

I was the only one who knew the piñata song...but I'm still annoyed that Mummy didn't choose me to wear the pretty dress and I didn't get 2 turns at the piñata!!!

Gingerbread

No house this year but we did enjoy decorating and eating these gingerbread men.

Birthday period

The turn of the year and the middle of the year seem to be busy birthday periods for our family. This year it was a special treat to sing Happy Birthday to Granda in person
and to give him his card...

enjoy the traditional Chinese meal

but what makes a party a party is the cake!!!
Hey Granda, you cheated with the candles.

...but we'll still help you to blow them out.

I insist that you must take a mordida... but careful of mummy's sneaky hand...

Granda and his grandkids
